▶ Your Answer :
You can have strong solidarity in a small
university. On the other hand, you can have diverse connection in a big
university. Although each university has different strengthen, I prefer a big
university for two reasons.
First of all, a big university provides a
wider range of lectures than a small university due to the number of faculties.
Thus, there are more chances to learn in various ways. For example, when I was
a university student, I always hesitated to choose lectures. My major was
public administration and it had lots of lectures with a single theme such as
philosophy of public administration, law of public administration and finance of
public administration. As each professor looked at the study from different
points of views, I could broaden my horizons on my major. Before going to the
university, I thought that if I go to a small university, I can have strong
solidarity with my professor. Also, he divulges more about my major so that I
can be an expert of the field. Of course, the solidarity is important, however,
I realized that there was such a lot of world to see before immersing in one
field. Thus, I decided to go the big university to extend my knowledge.
Second, a big university has voices of
intellectuals. Diverse opinions are expressed and shared in a class. Also, the
university accepts exchange students. It is the place full of a variety of
backgrounds. Add to many kinds of lectures, many people are in the university
and this means that many utterances of lectures exist during a discussion. When
I studied philosophy of public administration, I could make friends from
different departments such as art, Korean literature, and economics. While
discussing, it was hard to reach an agreement because each field insisted own
importance. However, these factors in turn led us to a high-level solution. We
were not destined for the solution, however, the more we narrow down, we could
find a common denominator.
To sum up, I think that going to a big
university gives us more chances to learn and meet a lot of things because many
studies and people exist. |
